COMPUTER COMES TO ANS

A new era in research opportunities
and collections management was usher-
ed in with the arrival of the Society’s
in-house computer facility on August 4.
Based on the Prime Information-500
processor, the new system provides the
potential for on-line access to the entire
collection.

Systematic entry of descriptive data
on the coins, as well as the accession
history record dating back to 1858, is
slated to begin in mid-August. It is
expected that five years will be required
to complete the basic file of information
on the existing collections.

For a number of years, the Society
has been actively studying the applica-
tion of computer technology to our
curatorial record system, recognizing its
potential for greater and more efficient
use of our collections for research pur-
poses and far better inventory control
over our collections than can be accom-
plished by hand. Toward this end, the
Society became a member of the
Museum Computer Network at its
inception in 1968 and contributed to
studies on the classification of numis-
matic objects for computerized retrieval
systems.

For some time, however, the sheer
size of the projected data base, consid-
ering the number of objects in the
Society’s collection (estimated at
800,000-1,000,000) and the amount of
information needed about each object to
carry out research objectives, constitu-
ted a formidable obstacle. A large-scale
computer seemed indicated with the
attendant high on-going costs and the

necessity to adapt our information
needs to existing programs.

Corporation for Distributed Systems
With the rapid development of power-

ful mini-computers having increasingly
greater disk storage capacity, a new

approach to the question was indicated.
In the Fall of 1978, Society President
Harry Bass initiated discussions be-
tween the staff and the Dallas-based
systems development firm, the Corpora-
tion for Distributed Systems (CDS), with
regard to the feasibility of a wholly
owned, in-house system to meet the
Society's needs. These conferences led
to a consultative contract with CDS
under which Society research and
inventory control requirements were
carefully defined for analysis by CDS. In
July 1979, CDS issued its report recom-
mending acquisition of an in-house
computer system, based on the Prime
500 central processing unit and 300
megabyte disk drive with other peri-
pherals by independent manufacturers,
and outlining in some detail the
software development which it would
undertake to realize the Society’s objec-
tives. Finally, and happily, the cost of
acquiring the system, including soft-
ware development, was within the
Society’s means, based on contributions
which had been made for this purpose
by Mr. Bass and by the Bass Founda-
tion.

From then through the Spring of 1980
the proposal was reviewed in depth by
the Society’s staff and members of the
Council, as well as by independent
experts. Several modifications were
made to the proposal as a result of
review and in July 1980 an agreement to
proceed was signed with CDS.

The past year has been spent on the
sometimes frustrating, often exhilara-
ting process of gaining control over an
extremely powerful tool. Development,
under the direction of Skip Hill, CDS
Vice-President for Services, proceeded
slowly and in broad outline initially; but
with installation of the hardware at CDS
in September, the pace accelerated,
culminating in a full day review of the
entire system in Dallas by President

RONALD WALDRON JOINS
EDITORIAL STAFF

Ronald J. Waldron joined the ANS
staff in early June as Assistant Editor,
assuming responsibility for the Soci-
ety’s semiannual abstract bibliography,
Numismatic Literature.

Mr. Waldron, selected from several
highly qualified candidates interviewed
during May, brings to the position an
excellent background in language and
translation, as well as research editing,
essential to the production of NL. He
comes to the Society with six years
experience in editing foreign language
reference books, including over two
years researching etymologies for the
American Heritage Dictionary.

Earlier, Mr. Waldron, who holds an
M.A. in Chinese from the University of
Hawaii, spent seven years in East,
South and Southeast Asia as a transla-
tor, teacher and journalist. In addition
to several Oriental languages, he reads
German, French, Italian and Greek and
has served as a contract translator for
the U.S. Government (Chinese) and the
United Nations (German).

Mr. Waldron, who was born in
Brooklyn in 1942, recently returned to
New York City where he now lives with
his 15 year old son, Richard.

ANS Graduate Seminar Concludes

The 29th annual Graduate Seminar
was held at the museum from June 9 to
August 8. The seminar provides an
opportunity for students of varying age,
background and interests to study
numismatic methodology and to pursue
intensively a research topic of their
choice under the supervision of the
Society's curatorial staff. This year’s
group of eleven students was one of the
most gregarious in years, and this fact,
combined with the high quality of the
lectures delivered by outsiders, more
than compensated for the absence of a
Visiting Scholar.

This year’s topics covered the usual
broad range, from the sixth century
B.C. to the seventeenth A.D. Carmen
Arnold-Biucchi studied a recent Sicilian
hoard of 487 specimens, concluding that
it was buried ca. 450 B.C. or later, and
that the hoard supports Kraay’s down-
dating of the famous ‘‘Demareteion.”’
The hoard also included about 120 coins
of Messana which were also of interest
to Clayton Lehmann. He concluded that
the unique ‘‘Striding God’’ issue of
Zancle-Messana must have been struck
ca. 495 B.C.

Barbara A. Baxter studied the coin-
age of Beneventum, one of only two
gold coinages remaining in the West by
the late eighth century. She noted that
the gold of Grimoald III (788-806) and
Grimoald IV continued the eighth
century trend toward debasement, with
a slight improvement in standard after
the removal of Charlemagne’s direct
control, and concluded that there is no
evidence to support some scholars’
claims of a lacuna in the production of
gold under Grimoald IV.

Richard A. Billows reexamined the
chronology of Rome’s earliest silver
coinage, which is inextricably linked to
the contemporary Campanian and South
Italian silver. He formulated a new
relative chronology which would permit
Pliny’s date of 269 B.C. for the earliest
Republican silver to be taken as literally
correct.

Janet C. Dockendorff studied the
Armenak Hoard (IGCH 1423) of some
1,900 silver pieces of Alexander and his
successors. Her focus was on the civic
issues, which would seem to date the
hoard to ca. 275-270 B.C.

Roger S. Fisher examined the contro-
versial coinage of Aesillas, and was able
to demonstrate that it constitutes a
unified, compact group; he saw nothing

to suggest that the coinage belongs

Wheaton College Collection Published

The Wheaton College Collection of
Greek and Roman Coins, by J. David
Bishop and R. Ross Holloway, is the
latest work to be published by the
Society in the series Ancient Coins in
North American Collections (ACNAC).
The majority of the coins published in
this catalogue came to Wheaton College
in 1967 as the bequest of Adra M.
Newell, widow of Edward T. Newell.

The publication includes 450 coins, of
which 327 are Greek issues, the remain-
der Roman. All are illustrated on 32
plates from photographs taken directly
from the coins by ANS Photographer,
Michael DiBiase.

The ACNAC Series

The Wheaton College Collection, the
third book in the ACNAC Series, is
published by the Society as part of its
continuing commitment to record in
print numismatic material of research
value which is not readily accessible.
The series conforms to the general
format of the Sylloge Nummorum
Graecorum fascicules in placing empha-
sis on the reproduction of the coins and
limiting the text to cataloguing informa-
tion.

Funding for works in this series is
provided by the sponsoring institution
or individual, with the Society assuming
editorial and production responsibil-
ities. Publication of The Wheaton Col-
lege Collection has been supported by a
grant from the National Endowment for
the Arts in Washington D.C.

Fellows of the Society will receive this
publication as a perquisite of member-
ship. Other members may take advan-

tage of the special pre-publication
discount offer and order a single copy at

BRITA MALMER TO SPEAK

Brita Malmer, noted authority on
mediaeval Scandinavian coinage, will be
the guest speaker at the ANS Members’
Meeting on October 10, 1981. Her topic
on the occasion of the David M. Bullova
Memorial Lecture is ‘‘Viking Coinage in
Scandinavia.”’

Mrs. Malmer is Professor of Numis-
matics and Monetary History at the
Numismatic Institute in Stockholm. She
had previously served as Chief Curator
of the Swedish Royal Coin Cabinet. Her
book on late mediaeval pennies in
Sweden appeared in 1980. In addition
she serves as editor for the Sylloge of
9th-11th Century Coins Found in Swe-
den.

The Fall Members’ Meeting will be
held at the Society’s museum, begin-
ning at 3:00 P.M. Refreshments will be
served following the talk.

elsewhere than in the 90s B.C., with the
obvious implications for the chronology
of the Athenian New Style coinage.

Cecile E. Korngold undertook a die
study of early Abbasid dinars (170-198
A.H.) with a view to distinguishing
mints and determining their interrela-
tionships.

James P. Niessen studied the circula-
tion of coins in Transylvania in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He
found evidence for changes in the
currencies of Poland and Austria and in
Transylvanian foreign policy during the
period.

David M. Olster examined the coin-
age and monetary policy of Leo III. His
die study showed just how small was
Leo’s coinage; the pattern of die linkage
also indicated the gradual collapse of
the officina system.

Ina project related to others of recent
years, Kenneth S. Sacks studied the
wreathed tetradrachms of Myrina,
many of which come from the ‘‘Kyme’’
hoard. Mr. Sacks’ post-165 dating of the
series is consistent with the chronolo-
gies formulated by former Seminar
students —for the coins of Magnesia by
Nicholas Jones (ANSMN 24) and for
Kyme itself by John Oakley (ANSMN
27, forthcoming).

Harriet S. Schwartz undertook a die
study of the ‘‘denarii’’ of Juba II of
Mauretania. She concluded that most of
his undated issues should be placed in
the period A.D. 8-17.

The Seminar is more than an academ-
ic experience for both students and
staff. Due to circumstances beyond our
contro] the second annual excursion to

Yankee Stadium had to be cancelled,
but the summer was not without
extracurricular activities. On July 27
both students and staff enjoyed a picnic
hosted by Kenneth Sacks in Englewood,
New Jersey. An unusually high propor-
tion of the guests were (or claimed to
be) naturally left-handed, and this
suggested a volleyball game in which
the teams were selected on the basis of
handedness. The southpaws were badly
outgunned although there were no
permanent injuries. Three days later an
excursion to the Morris-Jumel mansion,
one of the oldest houses in Manhattan,
was organized, and the seminar con-
cluded with what we hope will become a
long-standing tradition, a party organ-
ized by the students.

BATES, MARTIN ATTEND
MUGHAL CONFERENCE

Michael Bates, ANS Curator of
Islamic Coins, and Marie Martin, ANS
Assistant Editor, joined scholars of
Mughal monetary history in early June
for a three day conference at Research
Triangle Park in North Carolina. Spon-
sored by the Joint Committee on South
Asia of the Social Science Research
Council and the American Council of
Learned Societies, scholars from North
America, Europe and India focused
upon the imposition of the Mughal
imperial monetary system throughout
the South Asian subcontinent in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

The Mughal emperor Akbar (1556-
1605), of Central Asian descent, chose
to expand and elaborate upon the
indigenous South Asian tradition of
coinage. He standardized a trimetallic
coinage in gold, silver and copper,
which was continued by his three imme-
diate successors (1605-1707), vestiges of
which continued to modern times.

Ms. Martin presented a paper ana-
lyzing metrological and monetary as-
pects of Akbar’s system. Other topics
considered were the integration of
conquered states into the Mughal
monetary system; imperial currency in
western India; merchants and their
money; and the supplying of cowries to
Mughal India. Mr. Bates, as a discus-
sant, was instrumental in focusing dis-
cussion of many of the papers on
numismatic issues, often a difficult task
in the company of economic historians.

The conference was organized by
John F. Richards of Duke University,
who arranged for three of India’s most
outstanding economic historians to at-
tend: Dr. Irfan Habib of Aligarh
University, Dr. Om Prakash of the Delhi
School of Economics, and Prof. Ashin
Das Gupta of Vishva Bharati University.

BATES CONSULTS ON
KUWAIT COLLECTION

Michael Bates, Curator of Islamic
Coins, spent two weeks in Kuwait in
April and May as a member of an
international team of museum consul-
tants to the National Museum of
Kuwait, which is about to move into a
new building complex. His particular
responsibility was to examine the large
collection of Islamic coins of Shaikh
Nasser Al-Sabah which has been offered
to the Museum on permanent loan, and
to advise on storage and exhibition of
the collection. The consulting team,
with members from the U.S., Britain,
France, Canada and the Phillipines, was
organized by the International Council
of Museums and UNESCO.

Most of Mr. Bates’s work was done at
the home of Shaikh Nasser, where he
enjoyed the generous hospitality of the
Shaikh (an ANS member) and his wife
Shaikha Hussa. The collection is one of
the largest private collections in the
world, with special strength in the
coinage of Egypt from the Muslim
conquest to the present day. It will be
exhibited with Shaikh Nasser’s magnifi-
cent collection of Islamic art, also to
be lent to the Kuwait Museum. A
catalogue of the collection and a
research facility for its study are also
among Mr. Bates’s proposals to the
Museum.

After their work in Kuwait, the
consultants assembled at ICOM head-

STAHL AT ANA

Alan Stahl, Assistant Curator of
Mediaeval and Early Modern Coins,
represented the Society at the annual
convention of the American Numismatic
Association, July 28-August 2, in New
Orleans,

The ANA again this year kindly
provided space to the Society on the
convention floor for operation of our
ANS information booth. Mr. Stahl
shared hosting duties at the booth with
several Society members who volun-
teered to give their time to greet visitors
on behalf of the ANS. Special thanks for
their help is extended to Mark Abram-
son, Henry Grunthal, Tom Haney, Fred
Knobloch, Emmett McDonald, and Dick
Picker.

Open from noon to 5:00 P.M. each
day, the booth featured sample ANS
publications and slide sets together with
informational leaflets on membership,
user services and photography. A rear-
screen projection system provided a
continuous showing of famous coins in
the ANS collection as well as of Society
staff members and views of the museum
and library.

quarters in Paris to prepare the final
team report. From Paris, Mr. Bates flew
to Stockholm for the annual meeting of
the Bureau of the International Numis-
matic Commission.

PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTION
TO ANS

A collection of over 2,000 negatives of
ancient, mediaeval and early modern
coins, medals and decorations has been
presented to the American Numismatic
Society. The negatives are the gift of the
Institute for Ancient History of the
University of Saarbriicken, West Ger-
many, which is headed by Professor
Peter R. Franke. Mr. Franke served as
Visiting Scholar at the 1975 Graduate
Seminar, and the gift recognizes the
long-standing cooperation between his
Institute and the Society.

The negatives, which consist of
several German dealers’ stocks and a
number of private collections, will
provide a permanent record of coins
now dispersed through the trade, and
will be developed as needed for study
purposes. The gift was formally pre-
sented at the Society on behalf of the
University of Saarbriicken by the Consul
General of the Federal Republic of
Germany, Hartmut Schulze-Boysen,
and Consul Heiner Horsten.

METCALF ATTENDS
CAMBRIDGE CONFERENCE

On May 30-31 of this year ANS Chief
Curator William Metcalf participated in
a conference at Cambridge, England, on
the subsidiary coinage of the Roman
world. The conference, held at Christ’s
College, was organized by Michael H.
Crawford, Lecturer in Ancient History
in the University of Cambridge, and
author of Roman Republican Coinage, a
standard reference work.

Mr. Crawford opened the colloquium
with a talk entitled ‘‘Who Struck the
Greek Imperials?,’’ and other presenta-
tions dealt with the coinages of Domi-
tian, the imperial issues of Sardis,
countermarking, and imperial patron-
age at Aphrodisias. Mr. Metcalf’s own
presentation covered the behavior of the
subsidiary coinages and was based on
their occurrence in excavation finds
from around the Roman world. Other
participants in the colloquium included
Ian A. Carradice and M. Jessop Price of
the British Museum; Ann Johnston,
Simon Price and Charlotte Roueché,
Cambridge; and Christopher J. Howge-
go, Oxford.

Metcalf's presence in England afford-
ed him the opportunity to clear up final
details regarding the publication of the
Society’s Sylloge of Coins of the British
Isles, and for visits to the Ashmolean
Museum, Oxford, and the British
Museum, London.

Bass, Society Director Leslie Elam and
Chief Curator William Metcalf at the
end of June 1981. Based on this final
review, the system was accepted for
delivery.

Using the System

The data base for the entire collection
comprises only two files: Accession
History, in which information about
acquisitions either of a single object or
of a large collection is recorded; and
Coin Record, in which each object in the
collection is individually identified and
described. An inquiry can select infor-
mation from either or both of these files.

Information is recorded in any of over
50 fields which have been carefully
defined to facilitate rapid search and
retrieval within the large files. These
fields identify such entities as denomi-
nation, mint, weight, date found on the
object, or the more complicated obverse
type, obverse inscription, even extend-
ing to such things as expiration date on
paper money or tokens.

To record information about an
object, the operator selects the appro-
priate data entry screen (Greek coins,
glass weights, etc.) which displays all
the fields related to the object and aids
the operator in entering the required
information in the correct fields. Once
entered, the data can be retrieved either
by the entire contents of a field (list all
mint field equals Philadelphia) or by a
part of the field (list in obverse inscrip-
tion field all instances where ANT
appears, in that order, anywhere in the
inscription).

The system is designed to sort
information on a complex array of

criteria, involving either all or selected
information contained in the fields used
in the sort. A number of standard sorts
have been stored in the computer’s
memory and can be made a part of an
inquiry with minimal effort; any other
desired sort order can be created as
needed.

Finally, the system provides for
unlimited choice of report configuration.
Standard report formats have been
devised for various purposes but the
user is free to select any combination of
fields in any order for presentation on
the screen or in print.

One of the report formats is designed
for use by research specialists and
collectors who volunteer to aid us in
recording the collection. It lists all the
information which has been entered for
a particular object and also lists all the
additional fields for which we would like
to have further information with appro-
priate blank spaces where the informa-
tion can be entered.

A beginning has been made: now, as
the recording of our cabinet record goes
forward, we are looking to additional
applications of the computer system—in
bibliographic control both for the Libra-
ry and for production of Numismatic
Literature, and extending to our mem-
bership and donor records as well as
other administrative and business func-
tions.
